Which part of the world, and what scale do you need?


USA

Only a square mile or soe. Enough to see the names
of the streets

Maybe marble? It is cross platform and free. Currently I can not test it
in this machine, so I can't say what it actually does.

Ah poop! Back to the greyscale problem.

Thank you anyway!

This looks like a nice sub for Google Maps! And open Source,
so no spying and data collection either!

Thank you!

True. But who can afford one?

pretty much everyone, and it's not necessarily going to be better.

r-printer-deal.html
Staples is selling Dell¹s C1760nw color laser printer for just $75,
down from its $250 MSRP. That¹s a huge price drop compared to
what you¹ll find elsewhere. A third-party seller on Amazon has it for
$138, and Best Buy¹s selling it (on sale) for $220, though Staples
had the same deal on this printer last April.

brother has a $199 model, no sale prices needed:

and those aren't the only options.

I think the answer is no, for a variety of reasons, where the only
workaround known is to print to a file (or snapshot to a file) and then
edit that file accordingly.

Contrast, B&W, grayscale, etc.

The key question is which is the best general purpose solution, where
_that_ would be of use to everyone.

Me?

I generally use Irfanview or Paint.NET, but I don't have a prescribed
action plan that I can edify others of that is specific to Google Maps.

Maybe others do?

The problem with these fringe programs is lack of
map stock. Scribblemaps seems to be just Google
maps and OpenStreetMap with drawing tools.
OpenStreetMap itself is limited and poor quality.
Marble seems to use OpenStreetMaps. OSM is
so bad they don't even have a usable API. There
are go-betweens that host the vast map collection.
It's hard for a free, OSS service to pay for that
kind of upkeep and traffic.

There isn't much other than Google and Bing that
provide really good maps covering everywhere. It's
a vast undertaking. I can't imagine any better solution
than you're using now: Get maps from Google and
tweak them in a graphic editor.

take a look at "marble". Some things are missing, but
it is open source, so no spying

Just press "print" should do it, if the system printer is B/W. The
system should do the colour to grey conversion automatically. Now, that
the result is the best contrast for reading it... I don't know.

So, you want a map software that knows how to print in greys with best
choices of greys. Uh-oh...

Not really. I understand it can use openstreetmaps.

maps and OpenStreetMap with drawing tools.

Depends on the area. In mine, it is pretty good. You just need generous
people in the area.

Marble seems to use OpenStreetMaps. OSM is
so bad they don't even have a usable API.

Huh?

I just spent my Trump's tax cut on a new ac to replace the old one that
died. We lucked out as it is and will be in low 80's until the
replacement is installed
